Apicola Argentina (CAA) as separate entities. However, in a previous 
segment of this proceeding, the Department treated these two 
companies as a single entity.

    On February 2, 2007, the Department initiated a review on the ten

explained above Mielar and CAA are currently being treated as a

review of the following companies: Agroin Las Piedras Ltda., Seabird

part. The petitioners made a timely withdrawal of their requests for an 
administrative review within the 90-day deadline, for the following 
companies: Agroin Las Piedras Ltda., Seabird Argentina S.A. and
